Seize the day! This is our blog where we will record impressions of each day. When it's your turn, tell us about anything that captures for you the essence of being in this place in this time. Try not to make this a summary of your day - but rather more like a human interest piece or a narrative of something you saw or something that happened to you.

Thanks, Tanya, for so accurately and positively capturing the good feeling of our first day! Butyou did not mention the colorful table decorations--with suckers--that you created!! This is a great summary for those who had to be absent.
